no power to hydraulics

[Remy100]

My tractor sat for a couple of months. When I went to use it, it has no power to the front bucket. I can raise an lower it but only if its unloaded. 200 pounds in the bucket and I can't raise it. I s there a relief valve that could be passing fluid?

What is the condition of the fluid? Did it sit outside?

Do any other hydraulic functions work like power steering or 3 point?

Relief valves rarely fail from sitting.

Lot of things involved in hydraulics. Welcome to dealing with the unseen. Is this at an idle or full throttle? I’ve never heard of that. Wish I was more help

Welcome to TBN! What make and model tractor? Are the loader hydraulics separate with its own pump?

Remy100 welcome to this forum.
I agree with TractorTech in that you revealing the brand/model of your tractor will help you get a more correct answer! How many hrs of use since hyd filter was changed? Is hyd oil level at the "full mark"????????

That was my first thought. I changed the fluid and filter. Same condition.

Fluid was my first thought. I changed fluid and filter. Same condition. I 'm not sure of hours. The meter hasn't worked since I purchased it.
It's a Kioti LB1714 (1988 I believe)

Kioti LB1714 (1988 I think). Loader hydraulics are part of the tractor

3 point Hydraulics work, but I don't have any load to test if it will lift anything but itself

At idle nothing moves at all. I have to raise the engine speed to lift an empty bucket

To be honest I have no clue. If it were me I would do ALL the simple stuff: oil level, hose unplugged , unfamiliar noise. Just use the five senses men have and the maybe a professional on here will chime in.
